Blechnum mochaenum
A small terrestrial hard fern of cool, wet southern South American forests, from the Chilean and Argentine temperate rainforests north to southern Brazil. It wants cool, constantly humid shade and resents heat; little is published on it beyond floras, so this profile leans on its single measured site and the habits of temperate Blechnum.
Where it grows wild
Likely grows on moist, shaded banks and forest floor in temperate rainforest, as related southern Blechnum species do; species-specific habitat notes were not found.
No elevation data; the range covers lowland Chilean forest to Andean slopes in Argentina.
